NGC 2907

NGC 2907 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Hydra about 96 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 79,000 ly, about 79% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,035 km/s.

Because its light is 96 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2907 as it looked roughly 96 million years ago. The photons left before that much of history had passed, and are only now reaching us. This distance is estimated from the galaxy's redshift, so the lookback time is approximate.
